THE KLIK are a six-piece Rock/Rap/Reggae band from Essex in the UK.
Together for three years, this coming January 2016, The Klik – Toggz (Rapper/ Vocalist), Cobez (Rapper/ Vocalist), Ellis (Vocalist), Ross (Guitarist), Rob (Drummer), Nat (Bass) – have been slowly raising their profile from first-off receiving plays on FRQ.fm, Essex Radio in Maldon and Chelmsford, and internet stations, to now receiving plays on BBC Introducing in Essex, getting big support from Ollie Winiberg, the presenter of the show, being invited in for a live session.

With the release of their Stress Levels EP, the band went from playing local gigs at The Edge in Basildon and Chinnerys in Southend to now playing well-renowned and legendary venues in London such as The Garage in Islington, The Dublin Castle in Camden, culminating in a sold-out gig at Brixton Jamm for Hot Chip’s official after party.
The Klik have also been number one in the Essex Hip Hop Chart on Reverb Nation for a six-week stint, still now bouncing around in the top three.

About The Spice of Life pub…
A pub that has truly stood the test of time… surviving two world wars and retaining its traditional charm. It is thought that there has been a tavern on the site of The Spice of Life since around 1750, although its present incarnation was built in 1898. It was known then as The Cantons, and this name can still be seen in the building’s stonework as well as on the flags held by the rooftop gargoyles overlooking Cambridge Circus. The tavern underwent a few name changes over the next 80 years, becoming The George and 13 Cantons, The Scots Hoose, and then finally The Spice of Life in 1986, when McMullen (the Hertford Brewers) became the owners. The Spice of Life is apparently a reference to a line in the William Cowper poem ‘Task’ …variety’s the very spice of life / that gave it all it’s flavour…”. As well as being a listed building, The Spice of Life also has an esteemed musical heritage. In the 1960’s and 1970’s The Scots Hoose (as it was called then) was a popular venue for folk musicians, and saw many great acts of the time, such as Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Cat Stevens, Bert Jansch, The Strawbs and Sandy Denny performing here. Then in the heyday of punk in the late 70’s The Spice of Life became a regular haunt for many punk musicians and followers, including The Sex Pistols. In the late 90’s a thriving Jazz Club started up at The Spice, and has attracted many top acts, such as Jamie Cullum, Soweto Kinch, Darius Brubeck & Daryl Sherman.
McMullen & Sons Ltd, the family brewers of Hertfordshire established in 1827, remain the owners of this historical property to this day.
